MOCA Cleveland
7.00pm
$75.00 per guest
Well, this has been all over the place so I might as well jump on the bandwagon. I have to apologize for possible post slacking as I have an event coming up Friday that I have to prepare for and it is consuming all of my spare time (spare time to be constituted as time not used to make a living).
Anyway, most of you might have noticed that MOCA is planning a big move to University Circle, the Akron Art Museum is undergoing a minor renovation (You can still make the Wolf Prix presentation tonight if you hurry!) and the Cleveland Museum of Art is also undergoing some changes. What do these three projects have in common? Besides being in Northeastern Ohio? They are all art museums! Crazy stuff eh?
Some are calling these undertakings an "architectural renaissance" but I won't make such pretty statements. The times, they are a changing which leads to some rare opprotunities to marvel at the connections between art and architecture. If only there was some sort of Forum with which the public could learn about these changes, the directions taken and the considerations that were taken into account while these changes were planned.
Oh wait, there IS!
